From yesterday afternoons free paper "MX" here in Sydney:
Monks won't fall into beer trap
Belgian monks are refusing to make any more beer despite selling out after it was named the world's best.
The trappist monks at Saint Sixtus monastery in Flanders are refusing to brew any more until next year.
They have been producing the dark-brown Westvleteren beer, renowned for its flavour and strength, for 160 years. But stocks have been exhausted by unprecedented demand since www.rateBeer.com named it the best in the world.
Mark Bode, co-ordinator of the claustrum, said: "We produce only as much beer as we need to finance our little community, and not one litre more."
Look like beer really is "the new thai". Good on you monks! :beer:
